i am looking to get my first pair of rx shooting glasses. i have read on this site about inserts for glasses so your not spending money on new glasses every 2 or 3 years can you guys tell me what the insert is if it is attached to your lense or what if you like them or dont like them it would seem to be a graet money saver but maybe not all of you like that insert or dont see as well through 2 lenses. thanks in advance rjm

The best deal if you need prescription lenses, is the following in my opinion is: get a pair of Ranger sporter in clear base lenses in your scripts & then get colored clip ons. This way you only need to cahnge your base lenses when your script changes.

I have the Rangers with clip-on colored lenses. Love them.
My Rx is fairly strong, +5 and +5.25. Had then ground with
progressive. Then took my gun in and she measured the optical
center and had them ground. Worked out perfect.
So from now on, all I need to do is get a new Rx. Colors stay the same.
Got mine from Tom at Texas Optical.

I have always wondered if looking through 2 lens instead of one causes any deflection of light or any other negative factors? I have a pair of NYX and it's a pain taking them apart to clean 2 lens before I shoot. Also, everytime you change lens, you get finger prints on the lense.

My concern had always been the weight... two pair of lenses, two frames (essentially)...

When I started shooting, I used inexpensive clear safety glasses with my contacts. It was then recommended to use Rx lenses (and to get them colored) for shooting instead of contacts, so I had my optical guy take my unused pair of Porsche sunglass frames that used changeable lenses and had Rx made for them... big, metal and heavy... used them for a while, but they'd put dents into my nose after each day, but I used them for a couple years... until I need my first replacement Rx...

At that point, but before the Sporter came out I chose to switch back to wearing contacts using Randolph Rangers... found out about Harold and Wayne Morgan... but everyone can't wear contacts...
